Résumé

Numerous suggestions have been made regarding the use of hydrogen as a portable or transportable fuel. To effect safely an increased use of hydrogen requires fundamental knowledge of the appropriate safety problems as well as methods to ensure proper design of the equipment and techniques used in its storage, shipment, and use. The most likely methods of shipment consist of an extension of existing technology; namely, gas transmission by pipeline and bulk transportation of hydrogen as a
cryogenic liquid. While these are well developed, safety and technological problems still exist and include such issues as dispersion of hydrogen releases, behaviour of hydrogen upon combustion and hydrogen embrittlement. Safe transportation and handling of hydrogen can be enhanced by uniformity of codes and regulations. Hydrogen use of a fuel is not totally benign from an environmental standpoint; however, the combination of production and end use is generally more acceptable for hydrogen than for alternative fuels.
